I have two sets of AVS rims, both the same sizes.

One set of gold AVS Model 6 wheels (latest style), and a set of silver Model 5 wheels (older style).

Im looking at selling one set now, and leaving the other set on the car for when i sell the car next year. So wanting to know what rim has the broadest appeal so that i can leave them on the car for when i sell it.

Thoughts ppl? I dont have a digi cam so these photos courtesy of other ppl are the best i can do.

Gold Model 6

Silver Model 5

I like the silver ones better myself.  I think they give it a classier look whereas the gold ones look more like you're out to do some bruising.

Just my humble opinion.

Actually, I prefer the gold ones, but wouldn't you get more selling them seperately then with the car?

Hey Roy,

Keep your model6's cause they're the same as mine! Look much better than the 5's. Looking at the pic they look like 17's? If you were to sell them seperately you'd get alot more for them. I bought mine 2nd hand and they were NOT cheap!

Also, whats the width of your goldies?

P.S: Sorry for bothering you about the intercooler last fortnight, i got it all sorted ;)

Fronts are 17 x7, rears 17 x 8. They are a good fit on an R32 GSTt, i imagine your 200SX could swallow a much bigger wheel ;)

I like both, though i suspect my Model 6s would look better if they were white against the silver bodywork...no need to apologise, wasnt any trouble, good to hear you got the problem sorted.

heeey that's my pic! :D

y'know, if you'd just showed pics of 2 types of rims, i would have said the silver ones straight away. But on your car, i like the gold ones...they actually made me think how nice your car looked, instead of it looking the same as every other silver R32 :)

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
